MAIL THEFT HIGH DURING HOLIDAYS

Packages at the door this time of year mean Christmas gifts, holiday surprises or that ordered item you have been waiting for. But for a thief, those packages mean opportunity.

Theft Mail

This is actual a larger problem than most people realize. As a postal consultant I recommend that anyone that is sending something of value through either USPS, UPS, Fed-Ex, or any other carrier, spend the extra 2 or 3 dollars for a signature confirmation. This will ensure that someone at that address that you send the parcel to did sign for the package. Every carrier service offers this and is at a very small charge. It can be a little bit of a hassel for the receiving party to pick up the package from the designated location if they are not available when delivery is attempted but every carrier does have a pickup station as well as they will reattempt delivery several times before the package is sent back.
